Strengthen relationships, increase productivity, and boost your brand
by communicating with HEART
Our world has changed, and so has the language of business. In our fast-paced, high-tech, communication-crazy world, it’s essential that you come across as a human being instead of a computer that churns out stiff, wooden messages.
In Business Writing that Works, you will learn, step-by-step, how to craft clear, concise messages that get great results. We will focus on what I call communicating with heart. That means using language that connects, builds trust, and develops relationships – language that’s very similar to spoken language. When you start writing with heart, writing from the heart, you’ll see how you can build trust and earn respect with every message you write.
And I’ll be with you every step of the way.

See What Our Customers Are Saying
Shirley is a great communicator. Not only that, she knows how to help people become better communicators themselves. She brings her wealth of experience to her training courses and speeches, which she delivers in a high-energy, very effective style. I recommend her most highly for any type of communication training. She is superb.
Shirley Taylor speaks from her depth of experience and is alive with energy, vitality and authenticity. She is a consummate speaker and uses her knowledge to empower listeners to grow and strive for the best they can become. She’s fun, engaging and life changing.
The 7th edition of Shirley’s bestselling book is the industry’s benchmark for successful business writing. I wouldn’t be without it. In her workshops too, Shirley teaches in a practical, engaging and fun way how to ditch the dinosaur clichés and use a simple, clear, conversational style. And now, Shirley is at the cutting-edge again with her groundbreaking virtual training program. With Shirley’s engaging, natural style, and the way she keeps participants involved with all the interactivity, this is sure to be another runaway success.
Yesterday’s session was superb, right from the time I announced there would be a lucky draw till the time when a long queue formed where participants waited patiently to buy your books. Without a doubt, I believe the participants have truly enjoyed themselves and benefited from your intellectual insights and stimulating lectures.
Booksellers tell me that while their shelves are full of books on business writing, it is Model Business Letters 7th edition that sells, so they never hesitate to stock it well. Not many other business writing books can claim to have sold half a million copies too. I once had to write an important and urgent press release for a new book launch. Without fail, I found just what I needed in Shirley’s book, and it did the job superbly. Congratulations, Shirley, on your amazing new virtual training program. I’m sure this is going to be another huge success, helping individuals and organisations all over the world communicate more effectively, productively and profitably.
